There are many architectural remains from the colonial period and Haitian independence in the territory. Forts are scattered all over the place, on the coasts and inland: from the artillery park of the Ramiers fortified site protecting the impressive Citadelle La Ferrière (National Historical Park, near Milot, classified by UNESCO) to Fort Rivière (Saint-Raphaël), we discover the Haitian defensive system itself, while the structures of the bay of Fort-Liberté (Fort La Bouque, Fort Saint-Frédéric, Batterie de l'AnseFort Saint-Joseph) show the colonial constructions. The bay of Môle Saint-Nicolas is also worth a visit.

From Jacmel, it is possible to follow the South coast from beach to beach to Les Cayes: Belle-Anse, Marigot, Ti Mouillage, La Source, Côtes-de-Fer. From Les Cayes to Jérémie, a second string of magnificent beaches takes place: Port-Salut, Port-à-Piment, Les Anglais, Apricot and Trou Bonbon...

The north coast is dotted with bays and a succession of coves, coves and capes. This particular landscape offers a varied and picturesque spectacle of great beauty. A sailing boat can be very useful to admire these natural indentations: Chouchou Bay, Fort-Liberté Bay, Acul Bay, the entire northern coast from Anse-à-Foleur to Cap-Hatien
